CAT(I)                       1/15/73                       CAT(I)







NAME

     cat - concatenate and print



SYNOPSIS

     cat file ...



DESCRIPTION

     Cat reads each  file  in  sequence  and  writes  it  on  the

     standard output.  Thus



        cat file



     prints the file, and



        cat file1 file2 >file3



     concatenates the first two files and places  the  result  on

     the third.



     If no input file  is  given,  or  if  the  argument  `-'  is

     encountered, cat reads from the standard input file.





SEE ALSO

     pr(I), cp(I)



DIAGNOSTICS

     none; if a file cannot be found it is ignored.



BUGS

     cat x y >x and cat x y >y cause strange results.
